Yes, we will be making both steel and aluminum 15" and 17" heavy duty Beadlocks. First up will be the 17" alum wheels. We expect to be selling this summer.

Prototype....

that showy rim looks better suited for a j**p

Will there be various styles? If you can't make up your mind on whch style to produce you could always place them up on your board for us users to vote on.
Will your aluminum's be forged?
What price point are you shooting for on both steel & Al?

That is a pretty bling-bling wheel. To pretty for any of my rigs. I would like to see the steel 15 inch wheel . Maybe a guy like me could afford that one. :lol:

What about a regular steel rim - not beed locked. 15x8 with 2" backspace powder coated black. They are getting harder to find and nobody has them cheap anymore.

I would try to buy something like that at 4wheel parts wholesalers. There are alot on the market. We are going to concentrate on the bead locked ones for now, maybe regular steel wheels in the future, but bead locked ones first. :lol:

any kind of price idea or time frame on them?

Aluminum wheel should be ready this summer, at under $300 per wheel fully polished.

Steel wheels will follow later in the year at a much lower price.

It's possable but we have a huge investment in tooling to build the wheels. It's really too late to change the design now.

Maybe in the future we could add other designs but it's not in the plans at this time.

How again is it that the wheel looks like the Star of David? :?

I like the wheel. It is basically a hexagon with diamonds inside. :D

Look again, while its not the star of david it is basically a 6 point star.
All in the eye of the beholder.
There's always a positive and negative to an image.

I think I like it better with the black chrome outer & polished star :D

[rocks hurt good]

Too bling bling. But I may be in the market for a different design steel beadlocked wheel. Hope to see those out soon.

I didn't see it, but you are right. I don't happen to believe that a six point star is a negative image though.
